This was an upgrade from 15.6. Snapper was turned off before the upgrade; I took a snapshot as a precaution for the migration.
Strange indeed, I looked back at some old info on snapper list and it was showing βused-spaceβ.
You might need to report as a bug.
From man snapper :
....
Used Space
For btrfs the exclusive space of the btrfs quota group corresponding to the snapshot.
Display of used space is automatically disabled if not available, e.g. quota not enabled on btrfs.
Please check with the command mentioned above if quotas are enabled on your system. If so create a bugreport.

That was it. quota was not enabled.
Some processes and directories cannot be accessed without actually being the root user. By using sudo to issue the su command, you do not need to give a β possibly non-existant β root password to actually become root (sudo does not make you the root user, it just gives you alternative permissions which are usually the same as those of the root user). Do not forget that su β and thus also sudo β can be used to assume the identity of other users than yourselfβ¦ not just root.
